Gateway to Acadia National Park - Cadillac Mountain, puffin cruises, and a harbor town that fills with cruise ships from May to October.

Kennebunkport
Dock Square boutiques, Goose Rocks Beach, and the Bush family's Walker's Point - the quintessential coastal Maine summer town.
Greater Portland
Portland
Maine's largest city - a working waterfront, Old Port cobblestones, and a food scene that punches well above its weight.
Midcoast Islands
Bath
Shipbuilding heart of Maine since 1743 - Bath Iron Works still launches destroyers past the Maine Maritime Museum on the Kennebec.
Midcoast Islands
Boothbay Harbor
Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, lobster-boat cruises, and a walkable harbor that lights up with half a million twinkle lights in winter.
Midcoast Islands
Camden
Where the mountains meet the sea - windjammer harbor, Mount Battie summit views, and an independent village with real soul.
Greater Portland
Freeport
Flagship home of L.L. Bean, open 24/7 - outlets, a tidal river, and surprisingly good eating between the shopping.
